I love Chadwicks and Neil is quite a cool guy you can pick up the phone and call him on his cell anytime you want with a question assuming he doesn't call you first and answer questions that you have yet to think to ask. The product is terrific and will give you an amazing shine if you have good paint to begin with. It's true you do not wash the car first unless of course you tend to go mudding or something like that. Normal everyday stuff it takes right off and leaves an amazing protected shine. Here in FL we deal with love bugs and they wreck havoc on paint if not removed immediately I have chadwicked my c5 at least a dozen times so far and the bugs don't really stick much anymore and those that do manage to attach themselves (splat) come right off with one wipe of chadwicks.
Really nice to use if you go to car shows at all. Since you know your car gets a little dirty and just driving to the show and you may have finger prints etc. No need for water just chadwick it and your better than knew. I have not washed my car with water in 4 months! here is a pic i took about a week ago on a cell phone camera and she really IMO was ready for another chadwicking.
BTW, The no sling dressing is by far my favorite tire/rubber/interior/engine dressing protectant it is simply amazing and I will use nothing else.

Couple of questions for you Chadwick boys and girls, as I have been planning to order my first round of Triple Play:
First, for a toy/garage queen that never sees rain, etc...how often does the car need to be "re-Chadwicked?" As it is, I very rarely was the car with water - just use the California duster and Meguiar's Quick Detailer as needed.
Second, what do you use "in-between" full-on Chadwick sessions to spot clean things like water spots, bugs, etc.? Do you use a detail product like Meguiar's or the Chadwick product or something else?
Last, let's say you just Chadwicked your car, then a week later you get caught in the rain and it is now dirty. Do you have to do another full-on Chadwick session at that point to get it back to clean?
My impression is that Chadwick's would be a pretty good product for somebody like me given how I use my Vette, but for a DD it would get pretty expensive. Dunno - looking for some input from some folks with experience.
Thanks!
This is a replacement product of washing your car. If you went outside to wash your car it would take at least 40 min to pull out hose, buckets wash the thing, dry it off and put everything away. Well in 30 minutes you are Chadwicking the car which is cleaning and polishing so as often as you choose to wash you would instead Chadwick. As for money it depends on how you value your time, what you get out of either washing and or Chadwicking. I like the fact I get that just waxed look each and everytime I clean my car.

I might have to try it. I wash my car about once a week, less if it's nice. But I've got it down to about 15 minutes to vacuum and wash at the coin-op for $5. But waxing is a bitch.

I'm going to do it today and this time without the blok and see how fast I can do it thinking 30 min which considering its the equal to washing and polishing it's time well spent.
So today I ordered a gallon of this fine product. I also went and did the car over so I can get a sense of amount of time and material it takes to do the car once block is done. So as for amount I used alot less. I was going to dump bottle and refill with 4oz but I forgot and already had started. So I did entire body, wheels and under hood as well glass in 40 minutes taking my time. About 30 was on body. I think I can get it down to 25 min. So basically I washed and waxed my car and detailed under hood in tick over 40 min. Then I old fashioned washed my wifes car and dried off and that total time was also close to 40 min but no underhood detail or polish so this product is great. In addition the nose of my car looked like a fly catcher and all the bugs just came off with zero effort.
